But it's what's inside the magazine — other than all the naked athletes — that should be the highlight of the Fielder bit, as he told the magazine he's pain-free and expects to be back to his old self when he returns to the Rangers, most likely in 2015.

"I have the feeling back [in my neck and left arm] and I'm pain-free, so I look forward to a full recovery and getting back out there next year, doing what I do and helping the Rangers win," Fielder told the magazine.

There's been talk that Fielder could return for some at-bats in September, and that'd be great, but you can't expect him to get right back into his formerly powerful self right off the bat. Fielder's first season in Texas, after being swapped for Ian Kinsler, was a huge failure as he hit the disabled list in May and had cervical fusion surgery in his neck on May 27.
